History TearJerker / GearsOfWar

* The ending to ''Gears 4'' has a major one with [[spoiler:JD and the others finally finding Reyna, only she's [[FateWorseThanDeath connected to the hive]], and that cutting her loose will kill her. Reyna begs Kait to finish her off, and she tearfully does so. Gets even worse when Kait realizes that Marcus knew about Reyna's fate the whole time, thanks to having been connected via podding. Although even he admits: "I didn't know we'd find this."]]

** Colonel Hoffman makes an appearance at First Minister Jinn's speech, now a frail old man confined to a wheelchair. You could even say the flashbacks are his own, and despite the years of peace the look in his eyes show he's still haunted by the horrors of war.

You could even say the flashbacks are his own, own (he is the only character who appears in all three of them), and despite the years of peace the look in his eyes show he's still haunted by the horrors of war.

** The DeeBees attack and destruction of the house is suddenly a lot sadder when you realize Marcus has been trying to fix [[spoiler:his dead wifes home]] alone for years. Only for it to all get wrecked right in front of him. What if [[spoiler:her grave got destroyed too?]]* ''Gears of War 4'' hits you with an surprising one right out the gate. Humanity is commemorating all the conflict and sacrifice that was suffered to achieve the peace they now thrive in, and you (the player) are tasked with partaking in the flashbacks that accompany this. We see several familiar faces, and get ready to kick ass as one of your favorite characters... [[spoiler: only to be planted firmly in the boots of a faceless grunt, and you struggle through some of the most intense and pivotal moments in the series as a generic Gear. [[ADeathInTheLimelight And you die]]. In the first segment, your character is wiped out by a mortar round while dragging a wounded comrade, within sight of safety. During E-day, you find a ''Hammer of Dawn'' while severely outgunned, only for it to go off-line seconds before you could have survived. Finally, you play as a medic at Anvil Gate, who was never even meant to fight, as literally hundreds of Locust march relentlessly toward you, and [[{{Retirony}} die seconds before the whole Locust Horde is wiped out]] by Delta Squad's actions at the end of ''Gears 3''. You never see their faces. You never learn their names. They changed the course of history, but will never be remembered as anything more than one of a thousand others who also fell that day]].
